The court had compelled the commission to conduct council elections on/or before September 21.
The ENSIEC chairman said that the commission amended the activities and timetable for the polls after engaging electoral stakeholders in the wake of the court judgment.
Recall that ENSIEC had earlier fixed October 5 for the council elections.
